News \ Sony is "leading by example" with PSP

In an interview with Edge Online, Playstation Europe boss Andrew House has said that the PSP has burst out of the seams recently after a poor 2008 line-up because Sony is "leading by example".

"When I look at Sony's resources, I see there's a significant need to support PSP and make sure there's a good grounding there.

"Now that's established, there's an opportunity for us to say, 'Let's look at PSP again, let's make sure we're putting in the right resources,' and I think that's been mirrored in the development community. PSP Go, I think, adds to that. It says there's new innovation on PSP, new consumers.

"It probably has more potential as a broader entertainment device than most competitors you see out there," he said. "Let's make sure that we're developing games and taking advantage of that."

The PSP and PSP GO had impressive showings at E3 2009, with Gran Turismo, Resident Evil and Motorostorm all raising a few eyebrows and getting people excited for PSP's 2009.

You would think that with Digital downloads for the PSP GO that price of a new game would be cheap because the production cost is very little if none, game manual, slick, umd, case, they all don't come into play here so you would think a digital download would be cheaper right? Wrong, what i read is the will be the same price as a umd and i don't think thats right, then you have the fan boy that want to be able to physical hold the game he buys in his hands and add it to his collection. Then there are some people that don't have broadband Internet to download a game, so when little Johnny wants a PSP GO of xmas where will he get his games from, the shops won't be selling them or is Sony going to have some kind of vending service in store?? Sony has got it wrong yet again in my mind

you make some valid points, im not too keen on the psp go i hope that sony do continue to support the psp3000 and upgrade it as they upgrade the go. I perfer the psp over the ds as you say it is aimed more at children, the psp has a great selection of games aimed at the older gamer.

kna75 said: the new PSP is crap because....

1) All my friends who have one are over 30yrs and male. The one thing the psp3000 has going for it is it's size in the hands of the larger player it's comfortable any smaller and you end up with hand cramps galore.

2)the Screen size is just the right size, making it small is stupid the large screen is a great selling point.

3) Button position. the analog stick is crap

4) there is no second analog

5) Downloading games hmmm everytime i rtry and download a game it crashes and i paid for nothing.

5) the price is too high $250 in USA so how much will it be in Australia

6) Who will stock it can't see the likes of EB games supporting a system they can't sell games for.

7) If you buy a game via download if its crap then stiff **** u just paid out for nothing.

8) no processor update at leased the psp2000 did that.

9)Sony said they were listening to their customers which is a lie because almost everyone wanted a second analog stick.

10) the internal memory is only 16Gb how many games can have.(FFVII is over 1.3Gb), i own over 30 games.

11) you can't swap games with friends to try them out

Sorry Sony but you just killed the psp

1) it's designed for everyone. it's an omni portable device, it's not like a ds where it's dedicated to children.
2) their point is to make it more portable, it being able to fit in your pocket. all in one device where you can also hook up your phone via bluetooth (no idea how this will help)
3) agreed, but then again, omni device
4) agreed, though they might come up with excuse "not enough PCB room"
5) it works as steam, you have your own account, buy a game, download it any time how many times you want, but it can only be played with that account active. complete broken downloads and all
6) hype, and later on in this world, everything is going to be digital. PSN sales prove that people are going digital on the PS3, why not PSP ? also, as sony said, this isn't replacing the 3000, they'll be both on the shelves
7) that's what demo's are for...
8) was there a processor update from the 2000 to the 3000 mate ? don't think so
9) how do you know that ? maybe they surveyed the wrong people
10) it has expandable memory, read over the specs =.= and new technology is coming out, 32gb mspd is already out ...
11) yes you can, game sharing, many games support this..
12) learn to spell
13) do some research
14) learn to count

it might be your opinion. but you cant say they killed the psp, the world is changing mate, things are going digital and it's their decisions to make ...

don't like it ? go make
